Frank Sinatra
What do you think of Ol' Blue Eyes? I recently bought an album of his for myself, after being brought up on his music.
Do you think he is as important as he is made out? Or do you think his music is no longer relevant?

I like Sinatra, but I don't know about the oft-repeated claim that he was "THE voice of the 20th Century".
In that particular genre of music, I'd have to go with Bing Crosby. And IMO, there were several in that genre who sang with greater feeling.

I personally can't listen to Frank Sinatra having heard a few of the same songs performed by Michael Buble. I used to like Frank, but compared to Buble, Sinatra sounds like some silly old man grunting at kareoke. Bing Crosby IMO had a nice voice but there was something almost patronising about his timbre.

Buble is the best of the current crop of singers in that genre, but he'll never fill Sinatra's shoes. And I'll bet that Buble would be the first to admit that. I've heard Buble interviewed before, and he has a very deep respect for Sinatra and other old-timers.

another thing about Sinatra, besides his immense amount of talent and charm, that is key is how he has impacted music as a culture. I mean, it's 2007, and at least everyone that i know (young and old alike) know who frank sinatra is and like him. If you want to exemplefy timelessness Frank Sinatra is the example.
